You work for a recruitment or staffing agency with hundreds of vacancies daily, and your task is to match candidates with employers effectively. To do that, you need to perform multichannel searches and filter lists of candidates by various parameters, which sometimes takes more time than you have.
To shorten the time and make filtering more effective, some recruitment and staffing agencies conduct geolocation searches of Contacts on maps in Salesforce CRM.
Even though geolocation functionality is presented in Salesforce Maps by default, it’s so tiny and limited that the pricing sometimes is prohibitive for recruitment agencies.
In this blog post, we’ll share tips on how to use a money-worth Salesforce search app tool that helps recruiters filter candidates by their geolocation, in a much more cost-effective way.
Recruitment or staffing agencies often require functionality to filter candidates by geolocation, e.g., to pull up applicants located within 30 minutes’ drive from the available job, or to search for Salesforce records within a radius they chose for a given zip code. It helps recruiters to find candidates within a particular area so that candidates won’t spend too much time getting to the job.
Native Salesforce search isn’t intuitive enough and doesn’t allow users to search for records by map.
The solution here is a Salesforce-based tool – Ascendix Search. This tool helps recruiters find candidates and match them with the job openings inside Salesforce CRM. All maps are synchronized with the Google maps API.
Ascendix Search provides access to search operators and filters that are not available in native Salesforce or can be used only in the report writer of Salesforce.com.
Ascendix Search allows recruiters to conduct geo searches of Contacts from a specific location within a certain number of miles/km. This location should be an object in the database with a physical address that can be geocoded.
For example, users can look for Contacts within 30 miles of the office, where a specific company is headquartered and has job openings.

Recruiters can choose one, several, or all records and take different actions on them:
If you need to compile selected records into a marketing list associated with some campaign, this functionality is already in the Ascendix Search – you just need to configure it to be visible.
Also, you can send an email to a pool of selected contact records right from Ascendix Search using the Salesforce email service.
Either way, data is stored in one place and is reusable. There is no need to jump on different software: set up search filters→choose the distance→and get the list of candidates without leaving the Ascendix Search tool.

Ascendix Search allows recruitment and staffing agencies to search Salesforce records by a zip code radius.
Let’s say you want to search for every Contact within a 50-mile radius of a given postcode and capture the data to match candidates and job openings. To do that, you click the button “Add search criteria,” → choose “Radius,” and type in the distance → type in the zip code.
As a result, you’ll get a list of contacts within 50 miles of the zip code you selected. You can save all search results if necessary.

As you can see, Ascendix Search offers advanced geolocation functionality for Salesforce users, allowing them to quickly find relevant data and locate the information on the map.
“ Speed is key. We have been using the Ascendix Search for over a year now. The largest benefit to us has been in the ability to quickly locate information via the map, without having to filter after the search. For example, we need to find lease/sale comps for a specific area that may cross over into multiple zip codes. Go to the map, draw the polygon and there are the comps we need. In addition, finding lease expirations for prospecting purposes via the same search process. The less time we have to spend looking for information and the more time we can spend on actionable items exponentially increases productivity! ”
